So yesterday was a busy day for us! Mom got to attend our sonogram where the girls were getting measured at 24 weeks so we went all out and made a DVD of it! Callie was of course her crazy self and gave the doctor a hard time trying to get measurements, but not as nearly as bad as she had the last time! Katherine was very sweet and made things easy like always. My cervix is still funneled, but since being on a heavier dose of zofran and something else I can't say let alone spell, I am proud to say that as of this Thursday if I make it, I will not have thrown my guts up in TWO WEEKS!!! YAY!!!! So that means I'm not applying more pressure on my cervix to make it open! So wootness!!! Our girls have also gain some weight!!! As of Dec 7th Callie weighed 1 lb 1 oz, Katherine 1 lb 2 oz. Dec 21st Callie is at 1 lb 8 oz, Katherine 1 lb 11 oz!!! Nice!!!
And a update on my weight, on Dec. 7 I weighed 162 which meant I gained about 9 lbs since the beginning of the pregnancy. But as of Dec 21 I weigh 158 again, so needless to say I need to stuff my face a lil more but not by much. The women in my family have a history of not being able to hold onto pregnancy weight so as long as the girls grow and I don't get sickly looking we will be fine. It just sucked to hear I had lost 4 lbs when I felt like I was growing!
We also are now doing this test every two weeks called a Fetal Fibernectin. This is a test that can give a percentage of preterm labor within the following two weeks. So due to rules on how to take the sample for this test, we are now switching from having both sonos and doctors appts on the same day to having the sonos on mondays (as always, cant change the day for the sono) and doctors appointments on every other friday! Whew!
This specialist we see that does our sonos every monday also changes. My cervix gets measured at every appt. But every other appointment the girls get measured. On measurement days we see Dr. Graham (who is good but he doesnt TALK! so with mom seeing the sono for the first time on a measurement day I'm trying to explain everything as he zooms thru the sono....needless to say he isn't my favorite! but he is good at his job) and then on a normal check day there is this other dr that I can never remember his name but he is sooooo nice and talks and does like "ooo look theres a hand, a foot, ahh look still a girl" he just is really nice and relaxed. I like him the best. lol
Try explaining that to your husband....mine is soo confused! lol Well I bet you didn't think you would get such a wide range of information but it helped me to explain it to someone!!! Hope everyone has a really great Christmas!!! Love you!
